The Glendronach 28yo Grandeur Batch 11 is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Highland region, showcasing the distillery's remarkable craftsmanship. Matured for 28 years in a small selection of hand-picked Oloroso sherry casks by master blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this whisky is bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration or added coloring, offering an intricate and rich flavor profile. On the nose, this whisky reveals layers of dark manuka honey, roasted almonds and walnuts, baked plums, ginger, freshly-ground coffee, old leather, and a hint of furniture lacquer mixed with tropical fruits. The palate continues this complexity with notes of black cherry, espresso, dark chocolate, liquorice, leather, tannic tropical fruits, raisin and prunes cake, chocolate cake, lemon juice with thick plum marmalade, palpable minerality, Coke, and a medium roundness. The finish is impressively layered, starting with dry oak board, sweetish raisin notes, astringent and tart notes of tannins, evolving into fresh sliced cucumber and becoming drier with each sip. Glendronach is celebrated for its robust spirit that develops an extraordinary fruity character after long maturation in sherry casks. Situated near Forgue, the distillery was founded in 1826 by James Allardes and has a storied history, having been owned by several entities, including Teachers and Sons, before its revival in 2002 by Allied Distillers. Now a category B-listed building, it is protected for its historical importance. The Glendronach Grandeur Batch 11 forms part of the distillery's core range, positioned as a premium expression. This 11th release, bottled at a solid 48.9%, is a testament to Glendronach's signature style - rich, complex, and full-bodied. With only 3181 individually numbered bottles available, this whisky represents the pinnacle of Glendronach’s offerings.
